He said they plan to build a strip retail center on this site. Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Collins if he had received the City Engineer's comments. Mr. Collins said he had not. Chairman Tucker showed him a copy. He said there were only two items on it and one was a staff function. . Mr. Hannon asked Mr. Bronstad if the City had received the utility easements other than what was shown on the plat. Mr. Bronstad said they had not.

Whiteley for final plat of Oak Hills Addition. John Barfield came forward. He said they had been out in the hall discussing some of the items with some of the neighbors. Mr. Barfield said he was here to represent the 5 owners of this property which included himself, George Boring, Kenneth Whiteley, Bob Jones, and Arnold Pair. He said their engineer was Doug Long. . Mr. Barfield said they are just about ready to start the development in this area. He said there are other builders and developers who are waiting for them to get it started. Page 3 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Doug Long, Consulting Engineer, came forward. He said they had received the City Engineer's letter and have sent a response letter addressing each comment. Mr. Long said they were out discussing with the neighbors item #7 of the Engineer's comments regarding discharging water to adjacent property. He said they do not propose to change the size of the culverts or lower the flow line to the culverts. Mr. Long said Mr. Barfield owns some property to the north of this property and they may be coming back in later to develop it and at some time in the future, there will probably be a need for a concrete lined channel from the railroad to the north. He said, at that time, there would need to be some fill on the property just north of the railroad and create a ditch. . Mr. Long said there is a massive water line which goes through there, a 24 inch and a 12 inch, and they will request the city's participation in that. He said they would also be building their half of Amundson Road and will request the city's participation in the extra widening. Mr. Long said they are requesting the Commission approve this request contingent on getting the railroad permits. He said they feel they will have no problem in getting them, but they wanted the Commission's approval first. Chairman Tucker asked about the sanitary sewer when it leaves their property. He asked if they had the necessary easements for it. Mr. Long said they have one off-site easement and Mrs. Hamilton has agreed to letting them have one, but they have not gotten the paperwork done yet, and also, Tarrant County has been approached for an easement. . Page 4 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Chairman Tucker asked about the double box culverts, the two 4 feet by 5 feet; aren't they increasing the amount of run-off in a shorter period of time. Mr. Long said when you do any development, you increase the amount of run-off. He said they have about a third of the drainage area that they are developing and someday, the culvert may have to be increased. Mr. Long said they would be building up their land and filling in and will be above the top of the culvert at the railroad; they do not want to be below it. He said they would try to maintain their slabs at least two above the railroad area so they will not have a back-up of flooding. Mr. Long said they have designed their's for the 100 year storm. PS 83-45 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PS 83-45 subject to the Engineer's comments with the exception of items #3, 4, 6, 7, & 11 which were addressed by the Consulting Engineer, and subject to them showing on the plat the minimum finished floor elevations at least two feet above the railroad as stated by Mr. Long. . Mr. Long said they would agree to one foot. Mr. Hannon amended his motion to "at least one foot above the railroad. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 5-0. 4. PS 83-48 Request of TLB-GSC Enterprises for preliminary plat of Lot 5, Block B, and Block C, College Hill Addition. . Dick Perkins, Teague NaIl & Perkins, came forward to represent TLB-GSC Enterprises. He said they had received the City Engineer's comments and have responded to them. Mr. Perkins said they are in agreement with the comments, but would like some clarification and direction, or a Page 5 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . waiver on items 3 and 7. He said in the case of item 3, they would provide an access ramp to the channel at some point along their property. He said they would like to request they be allowed to place this at the far southwest corner of the property which would affect them the least as far as building is concerned. Mr. Perkins said the 20 foot easement would be a very difficult thing for them to deal with. Mr. Perkins said item 7 regarding the installation of fire hydrants for proper coverage, his client is not sure at this time how he is going to layout the site of that development, and would like to have this requirement waived until such time as they come in for a site layout plan or building construction plans for the interior portion of that block. . Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Bronstad if he had any objection to this. Mr. Bronstad said he did not, but he asked, coming off Bogard, how wide was that drainage channel to get to this earthen channel; would it be wide enough for the city to get their equipment down there. He said it looks narrow. Mr. Perkins said they might have to make it wider for the equipment, but the easement the City Engineer is requiring from Bogart to the channel will just have a pipe in it, because it is just picking up the water off Bogart. He said they would be agreeable to making the easement wider or provide the city access through the development to a wider easement at the rear. Mr. Hannon said the 25 foot easement on the north side of the property, what is the bottom width of that concrete-lined ditch. . Page 6 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Perkins said he did not have the figures with him, but it is stated on the front of the drainage plans that were submitted to the city staff. He said he thought it was 12 or 15 feet. Mr. Bronstad said he would have to have at least a 12 foot minimum. Chairman Tucker asked again about item #7. Mr. Bronstad said the Commission should put it subject to the staff review. Mr. Perkins said that would be fine with them, and if they wished, they could restrict it to no building permits until the fire hydrants are in. PS 83-48 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PS 83-48 subject to the Engineer's comments, subject further to the developer providing adequate access to the two drainage channel, subject to the channels having a minimum paved bottom of 12 feet in width and providing that no building permits be issued on this property until the fire protection has been provided as required in the City Ordinance which requires a 300 foot radius from fire hydrants. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 5-0. . 5. PS 83-49 Request of Alan W. HamID for replat of Lots 8R, 9R, and lOR, Lonsdale Addition. Mr. Hamm came forward. He said they have received the City Engineer's letter and their engineer, Doug Long, has answered them. Mr. Hamm said they see no problem with them. PS 83-49 APPROVED Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PS 83-49 subject to the Engineer's comments. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 5-0. . Page 7 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . 6. PZ 83-15 Request of William N. Garrison to rezone several tracts in the T.K. Martin Survey, Abstract 1055, from their present classification of 1F-9-1500-0ne Family Dwellings to proposed classifications of 2F-9-Two Family Dwellings and Multi-Family-Quads. This property is located approximately 200 feet east of Crane Road and extends eastward to approximately 200 feet west of Precinct Line Road. Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. . Mr. Garrison came forward. He stated they are requesting a portion of their land be rezoned from IF-9 to 2F-9-Duplexes and a portion for Specific Use for quadroplexes. Mr. Garrison showed the Commission and the audience exhibits of the area. He said they have approximately 20 acres which joins Mr. James Rust tract. Mr. Garrison said they plan to leave 4 lots single family, then have the duplex lots around the perimeter, and the the southeast portion would be for the quadroplexes. Mr. Garrison stated he and Mr. Rust had agreed to develop their land together and they would hear Mr. Rust's request next. He said Mr. Rust's property is presently zoned Multi-Family, but he would be requesting, if this case goes through, to down-zone his property to Specific Use for quadroplexes. Mr. Garrison said if this case is denied, he and Mr. Rust will go their separate ways on the development of this land. Chairman Tucker asked how many living units he plans for the 20 acres. The audience yelled out "220" units. . Page 8 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Hannon said he felt that since these two cases go together, they should be heard together, which would also conserve time. Mr. Garrison said he was authorized to speak for Mr. Rust. Chairman Tucker asked how many units would there be including Mr. Rust's property. Mr. Garrison said he thought Mr. Rust's property would fall under the Grandfather clause. Mr. Hannon asked what did he mean by this, does it vary from our existing Multi-Family zoning requirements, does it have more density. Mr. Bronstad said it had been zoned Multi-Family for several years and it might allow more density, he was not sure. . Mr. Hannon asked if they could find out about that tonight. Mr. Bronstad said they could not. Chairman Tucker stated there were 136 living units not counting Mr. Rust's property. He said Mr. Rust would be cutting his down considerably at the present Multi-Family requirement. Mr. Hannon stated with the present single family zoning, Mr. Garrison would have approximately 70 units instead of 136 units. Chairman Tucker said the total for both projects would be approximately 216 to 220 units. Mr. Garrison showed more details of the plot plan and elevation plans of the project. . Chairman Tucker called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. ~ Page 9 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Gerald Stewart, 8840 Main Street, came forward. He said he was speaking for the homeowners both in North Richland Hills and in Hurst who are opposed to this request. He stated he has a petition with over 200 names who are in opposition to this request. Mr. Stewart read from the City Zoning Ordinance which states Multi-Family zoning shall be located near major thoroughfares and preferably joining business zoning. He stated there is no business zoned property around; it is all single family homes, and the streets are not major thoroughfares. Mr. Stewart stated these people here invested their life savings here to provide a home to raise their families in the peace and quiet of this neighborhood. . Mr. Stewart said in 2F-9 zoning, he can build 2~ stories with 1000 square foot floor space and 3 stories with 750 square foot floor space in the Multi-Family zoning. He said this is not congenial to the property out there now. Mr. Stewart said the people who live in this area feel that what they have is worth defending. He said with this development, it would mean having lease property and rental property in the area and they do not need or want that. Mr. Stewart said they want the same type development as is already there. He said they oppose this pyramid effect and this also applies to Mr. Rust's request. . Mr. Stewart said they met with the Planning and Zoning members who asked for a compromise, but the homeowners do not want a compromise. He said he talked with several real estate people who said these 8 single family lots they show will be unsellable. Mr. Stewart said they are having trouble selling homes in the area now and will have more trouble if duplexes and quadroplexes go in there. Page 10 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Stewart said in regard to the drainage, the people west of Crane Road can not stand anymore water; it is already in the flood area. Mr. Stewart said in regard to access to this property, they say Precinct Line Road is scheduled for a 5 lane by 1990, but it is not there now and does not help us now. He said it is a single lane road now and very congested. Mr. Stewart said Crane Road is also a congested county road that can not possibly handle this development. Mr. Stewart said he had rather have the single family plan that Mr. , Garrison submitted previously. . Earl Region, 9200 block of Martin Road, came forward. He said he owns property to the south of this property. He said his property is 400 feet wide and 800 feet deep. Mr. Region said he was concerned about the drainage. He said water had already been in Mr. Campbell's house who told him he saw 8 inches of water going down Martin last year. Mr. Region said the 40 foot drainage shown goes to his property and does not know how he can do that legally. Chairman Tucker said without easements, he can not. Mr. Region said he has not given an easement to go across his property. Chairman Tucker said this problem would be taken care of in the platting and if Mr. Region did not give the easement, he could not put the drainage there. . Cleta Oggier, 6821 Precinct Line Road, came forward. She said their property was to the north of the property in question. Mrs. Oggier said Mr. Garrison stated his reason for requesting this change to Multi-Family was the escalation cost, but she said Page 11 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . the escalation cost is not as great as he says. She said for the last two years, there has not been a demand for single family lots, but now there is. Mrs. Oggier said he could sell these lots and still make money. She said she understands the cost of installing utilities, etc. has increased, but the value of the land has increased, also. Mrs. Oggier said the roads are not adequate now and it would be multiplied with this development. Mrs. Oggier said in the summer, they have a shortage of drinking water. Mrs. Oggier said she was requesting this property be left single family. . Stanley Tatarevich, 6820 Crane Road, came forward. He said in regard to the streets, Hurst has turned down the widening of Precinct Line Road until 1990, and Crane Road, thanks to Tarrant County, they put some gravel on it; and Martin Lane being only two lanes, there is hardly enough room for two cars to pass and it gives very little room for the children to walk to school. Mr. Tatarevich said about the sewer system, there is an 8" line going down Main Street, from Crane Road, down to the creek that joins Smithfield Junior High and at that point we have a 10" and a 12" line that goes South. He said with the increased development, this would be overloaded and Hurst is not going to let them tie onto their's because their's is full. . Mr. Tatarevich said they do have a water shortage. He said it is not very good when you are in the middle of taking a shower, and you find you have no water. He said it doesn't happen one time a year, it happens 5, 6, to 7 times a year without any adequate warning. Mr. Tatatevich said if you want to water your lawn in the Page 12 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . summertime, you get up at 3 o'clock in the morning and water, but you can't water any later than 4 o'clock because the people in GlenAnn gets up to water their yard at 4 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Tatarevich said the drainage was bad, it drains down and when it rains you tread water for about 100 yards on Martin. . Mr. Tatarevich said the two school systems are already full. He said he called Smithfield Junior High and was told they had 825 students and they could only handle 90 more students within the next 2 years, but said they were experiencing heavy problems in the cafeteria now. He said Porter Elementary is located in Hurst and the Principal said it has 493 students now and they can only take an additional 50 students and their cafeteria problems are the same way. So the school system would have to be updated. Mr. Tatarevich said Multi-Family housing does not pay their share of taxes Mr. Tatarevich said his main reason for not wanting this development is he built out there 16 years ago and they have a nice house with a green area, wild life, and he hates to see all the birds, squirrels, road runners, and rabbits go and get apartments in their place. He said he requests the Commission take into consideration every property owner in this area and give them a fair shake. . Oscar Oggier, 6821 Precinct Line Road, came forward. He said regardless who developed this property or what developed there, he and his wife are asking for water and sewer for their West 2.5 acres. He said, they want (provided the Commission approves) an 8' fence with 6" posts all along their South property line. Page 13 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Oggier said Mr. Garrison is requesting a 81.5% increase in square footage and a 159% increase in living quarters over single family and Mr. Rust is requesting a 20.9 decrease in building square footage and a 33 1/3% decrease in number of living quarters. He said Mr. Rust could be giving up one or two swimming pools, one Manager's apartment, one game room and bar, one full time maintenance man, off-street parking, etc. Let Mr. Rust have his apartments zoned and deny Mr. Garrison everything other than large single family dwellings. He said good city planning, good developers, and builders are an asset to the city. He showed an alternate plan for nice condominiums and single family dwellings, all would be owners, not renters. . Foy E. Moss, 752 Spring Valley, Hurst, came forward. He asked what the city of Hurst has to say about this project, what were their comments to you. Chairman Tucker said we have a petition from the citizens of Hurst, nothing from the city of Hurst. Mr. Moss said this plat does not show an easement for the widening of Precinct Line Road. He said on the Hurst side of Precinct Line, they require an easement for the widening of Precinct Line Road. Mr. Moss stated he felt it would be a mistake to approve this without this easement for future widening of the road. Mr. Wood stated the plat does show a 25 foot R.O.W. easement on the official plat. Tom Butt came forward. He said he lives in Hurst about 100 yards from this project. He said he moved from a . ~ Page 14 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . very congested part of Fort Worth to Hurst to get away from that congestion and he does not want to have to move again to get away from the congested traffic and too many people which this project will create. Kathy Robinson, 6463 Chilton, came forward. She said they have children who play on Main Street because they do not have the traffic congestion, but with this project, the traffic would double what they have now; plus they do not have speeders going forty miles an hour down the street, it is a quiet area so lets keep the single family zoning. Chairman Tucker asked for a show of hands of everyone present who are in opposition to this request. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. . Mr. Wood asked Mr. Garrison about the drainage into the lake, had he attempted to get the 40 foot easement. Mr. Garrison said the city of North Richland Hills has acquired that easement and they require us to reimburse them for it. It is owned by the city of North Richland Hills. Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Bronstad about this, how far does it go. Mr. Bronstad said it goes almost to the lake. Chairman Tucker asked where does it go from there. Mr. Bronstad said it doesn't, it just overflows out of the lake. Mr. Hannon asked if the drainage easement to the lake was adequate. . Mr. Bronstad said it was. Page 15 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . PZ 83-15 DENIED Ms. Nash made the motion to deny PZ 83-15. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion to deny carried 5-0. RECESS The Chairman called a recess at 9:03. BACK TO ORDER Chairman Tucker called the meeting back to order at 9:17 P. M. Commission Member, Mark Wood, had to leave so Alternate John Schwinger will now take his place. 7. PZ 83-16 WITHDRAWN Request of James Rust to rezone Tracts 3B3 and 3B7, T.K. Martin Survey, Abstract 1055, from their present classification of Multi-Family to proposed classifications of Multi-Family-Specific Use-Quads and 2F-9-Duplexes. This property is located on the west side of Precinct Line Road at the intersection of Precinct Line Road and Toni Drive (City of Hurst). . Mr. Rust withdrew his request. 8. PZ 83-35 Request of Dan J. Anderson, D.V.M. to rezone a portion of Tract 10F, Thomas Peck Survey, Abstract 1210, from its present classification of Agriculture to a proposed classification of Commercial. This property is located on the west side of Davis Blvd., approximately 600 feet north of the intersection of Shady Grove Road and Davis Blvd. Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward: . Thomas Elting came forward to represent Dr. Anderson, a well known veterinarian. He said he has owned and operated Haltom City Animal Clinic for 38 years. Mr. Elting said the property in question located on Highway #1938 approximately 600 feet Northeast of Shady Grove Road. He said he felt this property would conducive for the type of zoning they are requesting. ~ Page 16 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Elting said this proposed animal clinic will be a large animal clinic utilizing an existing building structure on the property. He said they also plan to build a first class small animal clinic in conjunction with that. Mr. Elting said all animals in the clinic will be housed under environmental conditions to meet all the codes and requirements of the State and local codes. He said there will be no outside runs for the small animals, none on that particular property will be kept overnight. Mr. Elting said they plan to landscape the area and build the type of building that would attract the proper class clientele. He said approximately $150,000 will be spent toward improvements; the property now is open land with a house and stock tank. Mr. Elting said the "commercial zoning" would be from the house South. . Chairman Tucker called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Arnold Pair, 8517 Davis Blvd., came forward. He said he lives directly West of this property. Mr. Pair said he had been against this request, but after speaking with Dr. Anderson who assured him there would be no outside keeping of animals, he would like to clarify that he has no objection to this request. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-35 APPROVED Mr. Schwinger made the motion to approve PZ 83-35. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 5-0. 9. PZ 83-36 Request of P & S Construction Company to rezone Tract 13A, Stephen Richardson Survey, Abstract 1266, and a portion of Lot 4 and Lots 5 thru 7, Block 1, Meadowview Estates, from . ~ Page 17 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . their present classifications of Agriculture, 1F-12 and 1-F-9 to proposed classifications of 1F-8-1600 and 1F-8-180Q-One Family Dwellings. This property is located on the north side of Rumfield Road, extends approximately 1,090 feet north, and is approximately 666 feet East of Davis Boulevard. Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. John Parish, P & S Construction Co., came forward. He stated they have developed Meadowview Estates, Phases 1 & 2, which are next door to this property and are currently starting Phase 3. . Mr. Parish said the property in question is a 5-acre tract with an old house on it, old garage with trash behind it which made it impossible to build and sell the lots on Northfield Drive. . Mr. Parish said they felt they could extend Smith Drive and Ellis Drive easily and take in 12 Lots there, and in order to develop the next 6 Lots they needed to cut a new street and replat those on Northfield. He said he realizes the neighbors across the street from Northfield will be disappointed if this is approved, the street would dead end into Mr. Larry McWilliams house, who is a pitcher with the Pittsburg Pirates. Mr. Parish said he had tried to get word from him. He said he talked to him once and then mailed him a copy of the plat, but he has not heard from him. Mr. Parish said he found out Mr. McWilliams has called some of the neighbors who asked him to speak against this request. He said they will get rid of an eye sore and will give ourselves another 3 Lot depth between us and this Northeast Business ~ Page 18 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Park which will generally help the neighborhood. Mr. Parish said they had some conferences with the neighbors and have agreed to make some changes; on the 3 lots facing Rumfield Road, Lots 17, 18, and 19, Block 1. We will make a minimum of 2000 square foot homes (we will deed restrict them). He said they will also sign a contract with Mr. Kurtz that when this land is sold, it will be deed restricted to 2000 square foot homes. Mr. Parish said he knew there was a complaint from Mr. Elliott, owner of the Northeast Business Park because of the drainage easement through there and the extension of Ellis Drive. He said they have agreed to cul de sac Ellis Drive and feel this plan will improve the area. Mr. Parish also stated they will remove the old house and the garage. . Richard Kurtz came forward. he owns the property to the the lots on Rumfield Road. asked if there wasn't a 10 easement running along the the original plat, running South along Rumfield. He said West of Mr. Kurtz ft. property on North and Doug Long stated there was a 10 ft. easement on our side. Mr. Kurtz stated he has no objection to this as long as there is a contractual agreement to 2000 square foot homes on the 3 acres. Chairman Tucker called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-36 APPROVED Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PZ 83-36. This motion was seconded by Mr. Hannon and the motion carried 5-0. . ~ Page 19 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . 10. PS 83-46 Request of P & S Construction Company for preliminary plat of Meadowview Estates, Phase 4. . Doug Long, Consulting Engineer, came forward. He stated they had received the City Engineer's letter and have addressed each comment in a letter. He said he had also received a copy of a letter from Elliott and Hughes, dated May 25th, regarding their property. Mr. Long said Elliott and Hughes had an objection to our not aligning our drainage channel. He said Elliott and Hughes shows a preliminary plat showing the whole tract we did back in 1973. Mr. Long said in December, 1973, the City Council approved the final plat of that tract which showed it came out straight to the property line, not with a bend it it. He said what Elliott and Hughes are saying is they wish to honor the existing drainage that is there, not realign it. Mr. Long said in order to accommodate their plan, we would agree to cuI de sac Ellis Drive, but we felt by stubbing out Ellis Drive, it could, at a future date, be extended to Davis Blvd. Mr. Long said they would need some direction as to how they would want them to cuI de sac Ellis Drive. He said it could be done two different ways, either a temporary cul de sac or a permanent one. Mr. Long said in regard to drainage, they have the three straight stubs to the West, two proposed inlets on each street to pick up all our water to our property line and possibly some from the West. He said they would not be creating a drainage problem, they would be helping to solve one. . Mr. Long stated they also show Chuck Drive to stub out at Mr. Kurtz's property so in the future, if he wishes to develop his property he could extend it. He said they feel if they put in cuI de sacs, they kill the development of adjoining property. ~ Page 20 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Hannon said Mr. Bronstad told them there is a drainage channel which this subdivision needs to drain in which flows to the East and is not improved. Mr. Long stated they are taking bids on that now. He said that will be Phase 3 of Meadowview Estates. Mr. Hannon stated the city staff feels we should stipulate the channel be lined before building permits are allowed to be issued on Phase 4. Mr. Long said they plan to do the channel. Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Bronstad about whether to cuI de sac the streets and if so, what kind. . Mr. Hannon said he felt they should have a 50 foot R.O.W. to the property line and also put in the cuI de sac bubble so it will have essentially a circle with a 50 foot street. Mr. Long said they could slide the street dedication over to where you would have the 50 foot R.O.W. There was discussion as to how the cuI de sac should be built. PS 83-46 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PS 83-46 subject to the Engineer's comments, subject to providing a cuI de sac on Ellis Drive which provides a 50 foot R.O.W. to the Westerly property line, and further subject to the stipulation that building permits not be issued in this section for Meadowview Estates until the concrete lined drainage ditch is constructed and accepted by the city. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 5-0. 11. PZ 83-37 Request of Dominion Properties Inc. to rezone Tracts 7E, 7F, T. K. Martin Survey, Abstract 1055, from their present classification of Agriculture . ~ Page 21 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . to a proposed classification of 1F-8-1400-0ne Family Dwellings. This property is located on the North side of Martin Road, bounded on the West and North by GlenAnn Addition, and is approximately 800 feet West of Crane Road. Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Gordon Swift, Consulting Engineer, came forward to represent Weldon Ward and Dominion Properties. He said they are requesting this zoning for the extension of GlenAnn Addition and have the preliminary plat as the next item on the agenda. Mr. Swift stated they feel this property should be for residential usage. . The chairman called for others wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being none, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Bonnie Washburn, 6451 Chilton, came forward. She asked if they plan to build 1400 square feet. Chairman Tucker stated they can build larger, but the minimum would be 1400 square feet. Ms. Washburn said her home which abuts this property is 2130 square feet and the others are 1800 square feet or larger. She said Martin Road is a very bad street; how is it going to handle the traffic; and Main Street can not handle anymore either. . Ms. Washburn said she is an employee of the city of Hurst and works real close with the engineering department. She said she believes North Richland Hills and the city of Hurst did a traffic study on Precinct Line Rd. ~ Page 22 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . and you should know the results of the study of how bad Precinct Line Road needs to be developed and also how Martin Road needs to be developed . She asked how would Martin Road handle this added development. Chairmen Tucker said this Commission has to make the decidion of what is the best use for the land. He said streets out in the country will not be improved without development and growth. Ms. Washburn said she is not opposed to single family dwellings, but she is opposed to any houses smaller than 1600 to 1700 square feet, to keep her property and those around her from depreciating since their's are much larger. . Chairman Tucker asked Ms. Washburn if he house was 2130 including the garage. Ms. Washburn said it was 2130 square feet of heated area. Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Bronstad about the zoning in that area. Mr. Bronstad said the homes from Amundson East to the creek was to be 1600 square feet and from the creek East to Crane Road was to be 1500 square feet. Chairman Tucker said the houses which back up to this property is zoned for a minimum of 1500 to 1600 square feet. Mr. Bronstad said that was correct. James Robinson, 6463 Chilton, came forward. He asked about the lot size, they look very small and it would restrict the developer to not be able to build a very large house. . Chairman Tucker stated building homes on large lots are things of the past whether we like it or not. He said it ~ Page 23 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . it benefits the developer to build large houses on smaller lots. Gerald Stewart came forward. He asked what size homes does the builder plan to build. Chairman Tucker said they have not stated what size homes they plan to build, he felt it would be up to the market as to what size he builds. Charles McNay came forward. He said his property backs up to this property and he was wondering if there would be any protection from drainage if this project is approved, for the homes which are already there. Chairman Tucker stated they would have protection. He said that is taken care of in the platting process; it will be carefully studied by the City Engineer and the City Staff. . Paul Parker, 6459 Chilton, came forward. He said he lives next door to this property and he had been against this request, but after talking with Gordon Swift, he is in favor of this request except for one thing, opening up Chilton to Martin. He said the whole GlenAnn Addition will be dumped right down Chilton. Mr. Parker said his main concern was the traffic pattern. Chairman Tucker asked the owner of the property if he would object to changing the zoning request to 1500 square foot minimum to conform to the present zoning of Glenann Addition. Mr. Tad Adcock said that would be no problem. The Chairman closed the Public Hearing. . ~ Page 24 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Hannon said he would like to state, for the record, that this Commission has considered previous case for zoning in this area, along the flight pattern of Mangham Airport and it was the decision of this Commission to deny residential zoning within the flight path of the airport, but it was overruled by the City Council. He said he still felt the Commission should take this location into consideration as being a hazard to the people in this area. Ms. Nash asked how far it was from the airport. Mr. Swift said he believed it was in excess of 2,000 feet. Ms. Nash asked if this property was in the flight path. . Mr. Swift said it was off the runway. Mr. Bowen stated the City Engineer stated in his letter regarding the platting of this property that it lies 2,000 feet north of the north-south runway. Mr. Hannon also stated the ground slopes down in that direction, making the planes come rather close to the houses. Mr. Swift stated he talked with the City Attorney, Rex McEntire, before he accepted this case. He said it was only after Mr. McEntire informed him that the City had no right to deny the use of this property, that he accepted this case. PZ83-37 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PZ 83-27 with the stipulation being 1F-8-1500. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion carried 5-0. . ~ Page 25 p & Z Minutes May 26, 2983 . 12. PS 83-47 Request of Dominion Propertied, Inc. for preliminary plat of Lots 20-59, Block 8 & Block 14, GlenAnn Addition. . Mr. Swift came forward. He stated they had received the City Engineer's letter and items 1 and 2 have already been discussed in the zoning case and he will state again to let the legal counsel decide the legal aspect of the concern of it when and where the clear zone would apply to this property. Mr. Swift said item 3, the City Engineer has asked that a 6 inch sanitary sewer be extended to the top of the slope; he said they question the use of that. Mr. Swift said after discussing this with the City Staff, they will agree to extend this if it serves any purpose, but if we can find no reason to do so, we do not want to do this. Mr. Swift said he and Mr. Bronstad, at this point, do not feel it necessary. He said in item #4, we will pay the pro rata and item #5, if the street is to be paved, we will make provisions for that. Mr. Swift said his client had no intention to extend Chilton Dr. but that plan was made when GlenAnn Addition was originally planned. He said they will do whatever this Board and the City Staff thinks best, but the residents have expressed no desire for Chilton Drive to be opened. Mr. Swift said someone mentioned the opening of Wood Court; what are your feelings about this. Mr. Hannon said he would like to know the reason for the 600 foot cul-de-sac. Mr. Swift said by opening it up to Martin would cause a traffic problem and he would suggest not opening the Court. He said it is not the best situation, but it is the best of two evils. . Mr. Hannon asked Mr. Bronstad his feelings about extending the sewer. ~ Page 26 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Bronstad said he just needed to extend it to his last lot and put in a manhole. Mr. Swift said they would show the manhole on the plans. PS 83-47 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PS 83-47 subject to the Engineer's comments with the exception of item #2, and 3 and further subject to a manhole being constructed at the end of the 6" sanitary sewer in Chilton Drive. This motion was seconded by Mr. Schwinger and the motion carried 5-0. 13. PZ 83-38 Request of G. Terry Sisk to rezone Lot 14, Block 34, Richland Terrace Addition, from its present classifica- tion of 1F-9-0ne Family Dwelling to a proposed classification of Neighbor- hood Retail. . This property is located at the north- east corner of Cummings Drive and Northeast Loop 820. Terry Sisk came forward. He said he proposed to construct a 2,000 sq. ft. office building. He said there was some opposition to the "Neighborhood Retail" requested, but there will be no retail, no shopping center, it will be his and his partner's office. Mr. Sisk stated there would be no more than 8 or 9 cars there at anyone time. He said they had 6 employees. Mr. Sisk said the building would be of brick veneer construction. He said there was one tree there and they planned to add other trees and shrubs and landscape it to make a very nice place out of it. Mr. Sisk said it will face Northeast Loop 820 and they would not have to go thru any neighborhood to get to it. . Mr. Sisk said he felt the highest and best use of this property would be for an office building. He showed pictures of a building which is similar to the one he plans to build. ~ Page 27 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mary Jo Shaunty, 5005 Cummings Drive came forward. She stated these were 26 homes in this area, 9 of which received letters being within 200 feet. Ms. Shaunty said there had been a petition submitted in opposition to this request by 24 of the property owners. Ms. Shaunty said she felt this would be a perfect example of spot zoning, taking a lot out of a single family sub-division and changing the zoning to Neighborhood Retail. . Ms. Shaunty stated the area across the freeway was brought up before the Commission several years ago for Local Retail Zoning and was denied, but after litigation in the court, they were allowed to build two family dwellings on it, but it was not suit- able for Local Retail. Ms. Shaunty said she realizes he wants to only put an office building on it, but if granted it could be something else tomorrow. Mr. Sisk stated he would agree to put a Specific Use on it for an office. Ms. Shirley Cordray, 4916 Cummings Drive, came forward. She said she lived within 200 feet of this property. She said this is a very stable area, most of the families have been there 10 years or longer and she did not feel they should take one little spot and change it to benefit one person. . Chairman Tucker stated there is a legal petition submitted in opposition to this request. ~ Page 28 P & Z Minutes May 26, 2983 . Ms. Joyce Tucker, 4909 Cummings Drive, came forward. She stated she owned the property which joins the property in question. Ms. Tucker said Mr. Sisk visited her about a month ago and had a lengthy discussion about his plans for this property. She said Mr. Sisk told her that if this would cause any problem or friction, if the people did not want it, he would not pursue it. Ms. Tucker said the neighbors have discussed it and they had rather not have an office building there. Mrs. David Freeman, 4901 Cummings Drive, came forward. She stated she lives across the street from this property and they opposed this request. . Mr. Charles Stewart, 4913 Cummings Drive, came forward. Mr. Stewart stated he had lived in this area for about 22 years. He said this is a very stable, well kept neighborhood, and he was opposed to a commercial building. Mr. Stewart said he would not be opposed to a two family dwelling there like the ones across the freeway. He stated most commercial buildings do not keep the same people in them over the years. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-38 DENIED Ms. Nash made the motion to deny PZ 83-38. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion to deny carried 5-0. 14. PZ 83-39 Request of Tierra Financial, Inc. to rezone Tract 3A, William Cox Survey, Abstract 321, from its present classification of Agriculture to a proposed classification of 2F-9-Two Family Dwellings. . This property is located on the north side of Turner Drive and is approxi- mately 226 feet west of Davis Blvd. ~ Page 29 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Delbert Stembridge, Consulting Engineer, came forward to represent Tierra Financial, Inc. Mr. Stembridge stated they had previously requested Multi-Family Zoning on this property and were denied, but the adjacent property owners, at that time, indicated they would have no objection to two family dwelling zoning. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. . Mr. J.G. Hailey, 8116 Turner Drive, came forward. Mr. Hailey stated he lived within 200 feet of this property and would like to deny the statement of Mr. Stembridge, under no circumstance would the homeowners agree to two family zoning on this property. Mr. Hailey stated the same problems still exist as they did when the Commission and City Council turned down the multi-family zoning. He stated Turner Drive is not a major thoroughfare and never would be; it is only wide enough for two cars and can not handle more traffic. Mr. Hailey said the only access to this property would be on Cox Lane, which is only wide enough for one car, since cars park on both sides of the street. Mr. Hailey stated this street is also a playground for the children in the neighborhood. . Mr. Hailey stated he understood the water, sewer and drainage is a platting matter, but they would have problems with all of them. He said when it rained Cox Lane became Cox Canal, and more development would cause more drainage problems. ~ Page 30 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Hailey stated he did not see the City ever widening the streets because they would have to buy more right-of- way. Chairman Tucker said the main reason the multi-family was denied was there were a lot of units per acre, but his Commission is facing a dilemma because there is a law which stated that you can not keep a man from using his land. Chairman Tucker asked Mr. Hailey what he would acceptable for the land. . Mr. Hailey said right now until the City cures the problems, he would accept nothing. Mr. Hailey stated Cox Lane could be extended within a quarter of a mile of this property, and that there were duplexes that can not be rented or they have not been rented for a year. Mr. Hailey stated he felt there is better use of this land than for duplexes. Mr. Hailey stated that the schools could not take anymore children. Chairman Tucker said a lot of the citizens use that but he had been in contact with the school board and they tell him to not worry about the schools, to build houses and they would build the schools. Mr. Hailey stated they are overcrowded now, there are 40 in his daughter's class. Mr. Hailey stated he would prefer single family dwellings. He stated to solve the drainage problem, if they put curb and gutter on Turner Drive, they would have to drop the crown of that street 18 inches to carry the load of the water. . Mr. John Larriviere, 6971 Cox Lane, came forward. Mr. Larriviere stated his property is below this property and when they cam in requesting multi- ~ Page 31 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . family zoning, the question came up about the drainage and they said they would alleviate the drainage problem. Mr. Larriviere stated with the added development he would be flooded. Mr. Larriviere stated there are four places within a half mile that already are zoned multi-family; at Smithfield and Starnes, Davis at Newman, Watauga and Smithfield Road, and Chapman and Little Ranch Road. Mr. Larriviere stated with all these, what next, how much more multi-family? Mr. Larriviere stated he thought the reason the City Council turned the previous request down was because of the sewerage problem, the traffic, and the flooding conditions; those condi- tions are still there. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. . Mr. Hannon asked Mr. Bronstad about the Water Master Plan. He said it shows a 24 inch water line going across the back of this property and asked what was scheduled on this; what is the priority? Mr. Bronstad stated he was not sure of priority, but they were waiting for the City Council to give them the go ahead. PZ 83-39 DENIED Mr. Schwinger made the motion to deny PZ 83-39. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion to deny carried 4-1, with Mr. Hannon voting against denial. 15. PZ 83-40 Request of Frank Kimmell, Trustee to rezone Tracts 12 & 12A, John Barlough Survey, Abstract 130, and Tract 2, William Mann Survey, Abstract 1010, from their present classification of Agriculture to a proposed classifica- tion of 1F-9-1500, 1F-8-1400 and IF-8- 1200-0ne Family Dwellings. . This property is located on the south side of Chapman Road and bounded on the west by Richfield Park. ~ Page 32 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Hannon stated that due to a conflict of interest, he would like to step down. Mr. Frank Kimmell, Co-Owner of Richland Land Company, came forward. Mr. Kimmell stated that this request was for approximately 67 acres on Chapman Drive. . Mr. Kimmell stated that immediately east of this tract the property was undeveloped, but was zoned 2F-9; at the southeast corner the property was zoned commercial; the property to the south was zoned industrial, but undeveloped; and the acreage to the southwest is North Park Estates, which is zoned IF-7; the property to the west is Richfield Park with Agricul- tural zoning; the property to the west of Richfield Park was developed and zoned 1F-7; the other areas to the west of this property is zoned 1F-12; the properties to the north and northeast are undeveloped and are zoned Agricultural; and the northeast corner is McComas Addition, which is developed and is zoned 1F-9. Mr. Kimmell stated their zoning request covers three different levels, on Chapman Road they are asking for IF-9 zoning with 1,500 square foot minimums. Mr. Kimmell stated according to the tax records, 92% of the existing homes in McComas Addition are under 1,600 square feet. Mr. Kimmell stated they felt the 1F-9 zoning was a good transitional zoning between the development to the north and their proposed development to the south. . Mr. Kimmell stated where their property joins North Park Estates they are requesting 1F-8-1400. Mr. Kimmell stated they are requesting a higher zoning than North Park and that the tax rolls show 95% of the homes in North Park are under 1,500 square feet. . . . ~ Page 33 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 Mr. Kimmell stated that they were requesting 1F-8 zoning for the balance of their tract, which is equal to or better than all the other residential zonings, as far to the west as Rufe Snow Drive, as far south as Watauga Drive and as far to the east as Smithfield Road. Mr. Kimmell stated they feel they are compatible with the zoning in the area. Mr. Kimmell stated that there had been some discussion of a north-south collector street in this general area. He stated they are proposing to plat Fox Hollow Lane as a 60 foot width street which could be used as a collector street if the City so desired. Mr. Kimmell stated they could make either Fox Hollow Lane or Little Ranch Road as the collector street on the final plat. Mr. Kimmell stated that in North Park Estates there was a Y-inlet into which most of this 67 acre tract drains. Mr. Kimmell stated their drainage and storm sewer plans would divert that run off to a series of sewers existing out of these cul-de-sacs into the creek that is in the park area. Mr. Kimmell stated he had visited with the City Staff and they see no problem with this. He stated this should alleviate the flooding in this area. Mr. Kimmell stated they had only four lots in their proposed development that would continue to drain into that Y-inlet. Mr. Kimmell stated they felt the zoning they were requesting was complementary to the existing development in the area and requested approval of this request. Chairman Tucker opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. . . . ~ Page 34 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 Mr. Owen Long came forward. Mr. Long stated he owned the property to the south of this property, which was presently zoned industrial. Mr. Long stated he planned to come in at a later date and vacate the plat of Fox Hollow Addition. He stated he had no real concern with the proposed development to the north of them. Mr. Long stated he was doing the engineering on this and it would be submitted next month. Mr. Long stated there would be a concrete lined channel thru this property, and it would be on the Planning and Zoning's next agenda. Mr. Long stated they planned to realien and restructure that drainage ditch. Mr. Long stated Fox Hollow Lane could be a collector street, they have had a box culvert at the railroad that had been paid for eight or nine years, so it would not be hard to make Fox Hollow Lane a collector street. Chairman Tucker called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Mr. Ted Gay, 6440 Sudbury Way, came forward. Mr. Gay stated he was not against the development; however, the traffic needs to be addressed. Mr. Gay stated with the construction of Rufe Snow, it makes the traffic more congested and if they had a north south route, they were going to have a lot of traffic down Little Ranch which will cause problems getting on Watauga Road. Mr. Gay stated he would like to request this zoning be denied until a traffic pattern was worked out and try to get this Fox Hollow Lane tied down more. Mr. Tom Ferruggia, 6448 Sudbury Way, came forward. Mr. Ferruggia stated he had had flooding at his house for several years. He stated he had . . . ~ Page 35 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 called the City to see if they could do anything about it; the City said they did not own the land and could not do anything about it. Mr. Ferruggia stated he had had to open his gate in his back yard and let out 3~ feet of water. Mr. Ferruggia stated he was in agreement with the development of this land, but he requested that they insure that the land will drain correctly. Mr. Ferruggia stated his other concern was in regard to square footage. He stated his house was approximately 1,585 square feet and asked what the proposed zoning would be next to him. Chairman Tucker said it would be 1,400 square feet. Mr. Ferruggia said he had his house up for sale earlier this year, but took it off the market. Mr. Ferruggia stated he may try to sell it again and would not want anything to hinder the market value of his property. Mr. Ferruggia stated he would request to increase them a 100 feet or so. Mr. Calvin McKutchin came forward. Mr. McKutchin stated he lived on Sudbury Way. Mr. McKutchin stated he wanted to reiterate what the previous gentlemen had said about the traffic and the flooding problems. He stated he would request they make sure that Fox Hollow Lane is made a collector street and also that the property drains properly. Mr. Dan Patterson, 6445 Sudbury Way, came forward. Mr. Patterson asked what was in the Master Plan in regard to Little Ranch Road or Fox Hollow Lane to alleviate the traffic congestion. Mr. Bronstad stated they have been taling about Conett Blvd. for several years, but don't know when the Council will approve the work on Watauga Road, they have not set a target date yet. ~ Page 36 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Bronstad stated right now they are working on Phase II of Rufe Snow Drive. Chairman Tucker said there is both an east-west and a north-south thoroughfare in the Master Plan, but that is all the information he has to give; it is up to the Council to put them into the fiscal year's budget and fund those plans. Mr. Patterson said he felt they are getting the cart ahead of the horse, and that we need the streets now before the development. Chairman Tucker said it takes time to build streets. . Mr. Kimmell stated their plans now are to develop in four phases. He stated when Little Ranch Road is opened up to Chapman Drive, it would give these people in North Park another outlet. Chairman Tucker asked what his projection of time was. Mr. Kimmell said about two years. A man living at 7235 Sandhurst came forward. He stated he was against Little Ranch Road being made a thoroughfare. He stated unless you relieve the traffic problem on Watauga Road and Rufe Snow, you are still going to have a problem. He stated his only concern about this develop- ment was the traffic getting in and out of the area. Mr. Roy Hodo, 6724 Mabell, came forward. Mr. Hodo asked if the green area shown was for 1,500 square foot homes. Mr. Kimmell stated it was. . Mr. Hodo asked where the drive approaches would be. ~ Page 37 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . Mr. Kimmell stated they would be off Chapman Road. Mr. Hodo said Chapman Road is unbearable at its best and now this plan is to have cars backing out onto Chapman Road. He stated the street is full of chug holes; when it rains Chapman Road floods, and nothing has been addressed about this problem. Mr. Hodo said when you add this many houses and have not provided any exits to get out of the area you will just be congesting the area more. Mr. Hodo stated he understands the streets are the City Council's problem, but the City Council is not meeting the needs of providing entrances and exits of the area. . Chairman Tucker said he wanted to explain that in a zoning request, we consider the best use of the land and when we get to the next request, the platting, that is when the roads, the drainage, and how the cars drive in and out will be discussed. He stated we can give them the zoning and deny the plat if the roads are not laid out properly or the drainage is not sufficient. Mr. Hodo stated he would wait for the platting request. Mr. Hodo asked if this area was in the flood plane. Chairman Tucker said it was not. Chairman Tucker closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Bowen stated he was concerned about square footage. Mr. Bowen stated he understood the need for smaller lots, but he was concerned about the number of 1,200 square foot homes. Mr. Bowen asked if they would be willing to change their ratio some. He stated he would be able to think more favorable on this if it was more proportional. . . . . ~ Page 38 p & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 Mr. Kimmell stated he had no objection to working out a compromise. He stated he would prefer the 1,200 square feet, but he would be willing to change his proposed 1,200 to 1,300 square feet for the entire addition. PZ 83-40 APPROVED Mr. Bowen made the motion to approve PZ 83-40 with the stipulation that a change be made in the request from 1F-8-1200 to IF-8-1300. This motion was seconded by Ms. Nash and the motion carried 4-0. RECESS The Chairman called a recess at 11:20 P.M. BACK TO ORDER The Chairman called the meeting back to order at 11:30 P.M. with the same members present. 16. PS 83-44 Request of Frank Kimmell, Trustee, for preliminary plat of Chapman Ridge Addition. Mr. Kimmell came forward. Mr. Kimmell stated he had received the City Engineer's requests and had responded to these items. Mr. Kimmell said Items 1 thru 4 had been agreed to and have been added to the drawing; regarding item #5, he met with the owner of the property to the east, Burk Collins, the proposed Central Park Addition, to confirm that he had no objection to the concentrated storm water discharge point as shown on the drainage layout. He stated they felt they could reach a satisfactory conclusion. Mr. Kimmell stated one alternative, if all else failed, was to take the drainage out of the easterly cul-de-sacs down the east side of the property into the drainage easement. He stated Mr. Hannon addressed that more clearly in his letter to you dated May 25th. Mr. Kimmell said on item #6, they had made that change; #7 regarding the grading on the proposed Priddy Lane, that he said it could possibly be too flat, but when we do the final engineering, if it is too flat, we will meet the City's criteria. . . . ~ Page 39 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 Mr. Kimmell stated that in item #8, the City Engineer requested the proposed six inch water line in Fox Hollow be increased to an eight inch. He stated the City Master Plan for water shows one proposed eight inch line in the area, it doesn't matter to us whether it is in Little Ranch Road or Fox Hollow Lane. Mr. Kimmell said items #9 and #10 regarding pro rata, we will pay, and item #11 regarding improvement along Chapman Road, we do intend to construct the curb and gutter and do the street widening as part of the first phase. Mr. Kimmell stated that where Fox Hollow Lane intersects with Chapman Road, they had drawn it to intersect with Chapman Road at the crest of the hill rather than being further to the east or further to the west for a safer intersection and also by having it there, it would not conflict with the existing residential area. Chairman Tucker said although our subdivision ordinance allows it, he does not like a subdivision that has lots that back out to a main road. It is allowed, but we should avoid it if possible because it does clog up the road. Chairman Tucker asked if this drainage they plan to keep the water out of the Y-inlet, will take care of the problem. Mr. Hannon came forward. He showed how and where the drainage would go. PS 83-44 APPROVED Ms. Nash made the motion to approve PS 83-44 subject to the Engineer's comments. This motion was seconded by Mr. Schwinger and the motion carried 4-0. Mark Hannon returned to the table. Page 40 P & Z Minutes May 26, 1983 . 17. PZ 83-41 Request of Folsom Investment, Inc. to rezone 1.44 acres out of Lot l, Block 1, Walkers Branch Addition from their present classification of Multi- Family to a proposed classification of Local Retail. This property is located approximately 150 feet north-west of Highway 26 on Emerald Hills Way. . Mr. Bobby McMillan, with Folsom Inc., Inc., came forward. Mr. McMillan stated that two years ago when they presented the final plat of this property, there was discussion by the Commission as to the zoning lines and how they occurred. Mr. McMillan stated he had often wondered that also. He presented a plat showing the two zonings and their boundary lines. Mr. McMillan stated they wished to change the zoning on 1.44 acres of land from Multi-Family to Local Retail to straighten up the lines and also to give them a more usable size tract. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. There being no one, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. PZ 83-41 APPROVED Mr. Hannon made the motion to approve PZ 83-41. This motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and the motion carried 5-0.
